Nothingness is destructive. Emptiness is creative.
“I have nothing…” “The jar…shall not go empty.” Nothingness and emptiness – is there a difference? To speak of nothing brings to mind a sense of desolation and darkness.

We find she’s both a widow and a single mother. (Widows in the ancient world were the poorest of the poor.) It is to this sort of woman that Elijah does what? He asks for water in a drought!
